Group Looks
For Possihle
Adversities \
WASHINGTON <AP) - A ma-
jor force behind the making of
U.S. policy in the current Jorda-
nian turmoil is a little-known
government panel designed to I
drvelop answers for such crises I
before they erupt. I
The name: the Washington I
Special Action Group, known in
the bureaucracy as "WSAG."
It was designed to be a crisis-
anticipating booy - one that in
ideal circumstances would pro-
tect President Nixon against in-
ternational surprises.
For all its announced pur-
poses of looking far into the fu-
tnre for possible trouble spots,
WSAG has been preoccupied
with present trouble much of
thE' time since its creation.
Ever since Palestinian guer-
ri1las hijacked three airliners
and forced them and their pas-
sengers on the Joroanian de-
sert, W ASG has been in the
frrefront of White House han-
dling of that and later more om-
inous developments.
Members of the once-secret
group include Deputy Secretary
of Defense David Packard, Un-
dersecretary of State U. ~lexis
Johnson director RIchard
Helms ~f the Central Intelli.
gence Agency and Admira}
Thomas Moorer, chairman of
the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
The chairman from the outset
has been Henry E. Kissinger,
Nixon's assistant for national
security affairs.
A measure of the influence
being exerted by WSAG in the
Jordanian crisis was Nixon's
unannounced presence at one of
its sessions in the White Ho.use
situation room Sunday evemng.
After that meeting, it was
learned, Nixon conferred pri-
vately with key WSAG members
in his Oval Office and, long aft.
er dark, met again with some of
them in his less formal quarters
in the neighboring Executive Of-
fice Building.
WSAG meets several times
daily in times like these and
Chairman Kissinger, a ready
C{)nduit of the group's thinking,
is in repeated personal contact
with the chief executive.
Created in April 1969, WSAG
\vas the direct product of the
shooting down of a l!'S, Navy
intelligence plane w~llch No~th
Korea claimed had mvaded Its
air space.
In his first "State of the
World," r,eport to Congress in
February, Nixon took the wraps
off WSAG and said:
"This groups drafts contin-
gency plans for p~~ible cris~s'
integrating the politlcal ~~ mIl-
itary requirements of cnslS ac-
tion. The action responses of the
departments of the government
are planned in detail .and s~cif-
ic responsibilities aSSlgne~ m an
agreed time sequence m ad-
vance." . .
The White House mSlsts
WSAG has met regularly in per.
ioos of calm. However, the only
times the group's activities
have been publicized have bee~
when Nixon faced grave deCI-
sions - first in committin.g U.S.
ground forces ~ CambooIa and
now in the MIddle East.
2 Officers
No-Billed
At Houston
HOUSTON (AP) - A grand
jury blamed a July 26 shootout
between black militants and po-
lice on the militants and no-
billed two of the officers in-
volved.
Carl Hampton, a leader of a
local Black Panther type group,
People's Party II, was killed in
the shooting aoo four others,
none of them police, wounded
in the incident.
The grand jury which investi-
gated the affair no-billed offi-
cers J. O. Norris and R. G.
Blaylock. They were two of the
five officers on top a black
church who exchanged fire with
members of the black group in
the street below.
The grand jury report said the I
blacks shot first and blamed the
incident on the desire of "some
militant leaders" to "keep a
wedge between the black and
white segments of our commu-
nity." ..,
"The finger of gUIlt pOlIl:tS ~-
redly at this small but Slgnifl'
cant group of individuals. who
benefit from disorder, dIssent
and despair, for the repeated
incidents which led to July 21:
and other similar occurrences,"
the report said.
After hearing 27 witnesses and
I
studying sworn statements, re-
corded tapes, movies, photo-
graphs and newspaper accounts,
the grand jury found that police
officers on the roof of the
church came under fire first.
"The first shot was fired from
the ground," the report said.
"At least three and probably
four shots were fired from the
ground before police officers re-
turned fire. Specific approval to
